In
the ring of fire is where the tidal waves happen. It happens in the spring
and summer months for some countries but for others countries (in the hotter
countries that don't snow) any time a tidal wave might occur. A historical
appearance: At the time the San Andreas Fault reaches South America, it
lies 120 miles (200 km) out at sea. This should be good news for the people
living on the coast, But in may 1960 several big earthquakes along the
fault line created 3-foot (1meter) high ripples in the ocean. As they travel
toward land, they grew 30 feet (10 meters) high tsunami. Three such waves
hit the Chilean city of Valdiva, toppoling buildings tossing ships out
of the harbor. In the ring of fire is where the tidal waves happen. It
